Just habit... After using C, Perl, and PHP I start start to think in 
terms of the usual feature which in this case is the sprintf() method 
of building strings.

Just using "&" definitely makes more sense in transcript.

Although with more than a handful of strings to concatenate then I 
would start to prefer the format() method because I can separate in my 
mind the slots vs. the contents to be filled in to the slots.
